MAINTENANCE AND CARE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long life for
the car under the best conditions.
This is why Lancia has planned a series of checks and
maintenance operations every 35,000 km.
It is however important to remember that scheduled ser-
vicing does not completely cover all the car’s requirements
- also in the initial period before 35,000 km service and
later, between one service and another, ordinary care is
still required such as for example routine check and top-
ping up the level of fluids, tyre pressure check, etc.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing is required by the Man-
ufacturer. Failure to carry them out may invalidate thewarranty.Scheduled Services are offered by all Lancia Dealerships
according to a set time schedule.
If during each operation, in addition to the ones sched-
uled, the need arises for further replacements or repairs,
these may only be carried out with the express agreement
of the Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to contact a Lancia Deal-
ership in the event of any minor operating faults, with-
out waiting for the next service.
If the car is used frequently for towing a trailer, the in-
terval between services should be reduced.

(*) Regardless of the distance covered, the timing drive belt must be changed every 4 years for particularly demanding use (cold
climates, city driving, long periods of idling) or at least every 5 years.
(**) The actual interval for changing the oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the car usage conditions, it is signalled
by the warning light or message (if present) in the instrument panel and must never exceed 24 months.
If the car is mainly used in towns and cities, change the engine oil and filter every 12 months.

ENGINE OIL A - Fig. 1
Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after the en-
gine has stopped, with the car parked on level ground. The
oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on
the dipstick. The range between the MIN and MAX marks
corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.
If the level of the oil is close to or below the MIN mark,
add oil via the filler neck until the MAX mark is reached.
The oil level must never exceed the MAX mark.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1,000 km. When the car is new, the engine
needs to run in, therefore the engine oil consumption can
only be considered stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000
km.IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving
style and car usage conditions.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the en-
gine run for a few seconds and wait a few minutes after
turning it off before you check the level.
When the engine is hot, take care when work-
ing inside the engine compartment to avoid
burns. Remember that when the engine is hot,
the fan may operate: danger of injury. Pay atten-
tion to scarves, ties and other loose fitting garments:
they may get caught by moving components. Do not add any oil with different specifica-
tions than those of the existing engine oil. The used engine oil and the replaced oil fil-
ter contain substances that may be danger-
ous for the environment. It is advisable to
have oil and filters changed by a Lancia Dealership
where they will be disposed of according to the law.
